Clinical research is an invaluable part of making life better for people across the globe. While incredible strides have been made in what researchers are able to discover, there's still room for improvement. Lilly Trials pushes the boundaries of clinical research, making it more connected, engaging, and accessible than ever before. We believe that in order to advance and accelerate the development of new medicines, we have to have open and honest conversations with patients, caregivers, researchers, innovators. The more we share ideas and knowledge, the bigger the difference we can make. Join us in transforming clinical research, together.

Joseph Kim

Joseph Kim works very hard to amplify the awareness of one of humankind's biggest social issues—the development of new medicine—so that we can radically accelerate the pace of how we do this as an industry. It's going to take a complex collaboration between patients, pharma, health care, technology, advocacy groups, artists, educational institutions, the media and more.

He has two children that he hopes will grow up as considerate, confident, fun people who really like what they do—so long as he doesn’t screw them up.

Joe also has a spouse who inspires him to be the best version of himself and supports him wholeheartedly. He has a huge appetite for music, technology, health 2.0, social media, mobile, visual arts, martial arts, bourbon, food, design, science and connecting unlikely partners.
